symbolism of the little kid?


At the end of the movie there is a small child who only Aron can see. What does he symbolize? He seemed like the major reason to why Aron finally cut his arm off, but i can't really see how he fits in the story.

He was hallucinating. That little boy was his unborn son.

Wasn't symbolism. It was his son. You must have skipped the ending where this was explained.
